I am planning an extended cruise later this year, including a Pacific
crossing. What have people found about getting internet access via
satellite or other, both at sea and whilst in port?



I have a ham licence (vk3zsr)and will use that for email etc, but the
first mate wants more than that - don't they all?

Like checking allrecipes.com? ;-)
